St. Longin's Rotunda, Prague

St. Longin's Rotunda (Prague, Na Rybníčku) is one of the few preserved romanesque rotundas in Prague. It was founded in the 12th century as a parish church for a village "Rybníček" which was there before the founding of the Prague New Town in the middle of the 14th century.

The rotunda was nearly demolished in the 19th century while the nearby street (Na Rybníčku) was being built, but fortunatelly it was saved by František Palacký.
